🇷🇺⚡️ Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ответ Посла России в США А.И.Антонова на вопрос СМИ

❓: Уважаемый Анатолий Иванович, как бы Вы прокомментировали слова представителей администрации, обвинивших Россию в попытке посеять раздор среди союзников по НАТО за счет публикации телефонных разговоров немецких офицеров?

💬 А.И.Антонов: Местные власти в очередной раз пытаются манипулировать общественным мнением. Говоря о факте «утечки» содержания беседы военнослужащих Бундесвера, сводят все к обвинениям нас в неких «гибридных» и хакерских атаках. Тем самым уводят дискуссию от главного. А именно – того факта, что США и их сателлиты по Североатлантическому альянсу все глубже погружаются в трясину «украинского проекта». Буднично обсуждают варианты тератаки на гражданскую инфраструктуру на суверенной территории Российской Федерации.

❗️Еще недавно невозможно было себе представить, что по полям соседней с Россией республики будут разъезжать американские и немецкие танки. Позже всем стало ясно, что западные специалисты активно помогают ВСУ с обслуживанием дорогущего оборудования вроде «Патриотов» с наведением на цели. Теперь уже речь идет и об участии солдат армий НАТО в боевых действиях. Подобный сценарий не может реализовываться без одобрения Вашингтоном. По существу мы стоим перед опасностью прямого столкновения вооруженных сил России и Североатлантического альянса на востоке Европы.

☝️ В этом контексте все актуальнее становятся тезисы послания Президента Российской Федерации В.В.Путина к Федеральному собранию о наличии у нашей страны всех достаточных сил и средств для отражения агрессии государств блока.

👉 Уверен, что фермеров в Америке, Европе и в России, прежде всего, волнует спокойная жизнь и возможность возделывать землю без страха за завтрашний день. Однако к их чаяниям равнодушны здешние «ястребы», которые подталкивают планету к третьей мировой войне.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov’s answer to a media question

❓: Dear Ambassador Antonov, how would you comment on the statements by U.S. officials who accused Russia of trying to sow discord among NATO allies by publishing telephone conversations of German military officers?

💬 Anatoly Antonov: Local authorities are once again trying to manipulate public opinion. Speaking of the “leak” of the content of the Bundeswehr officers’ conversation, they reduce everything to accusing us of some kind of “hybrid” and hacker attacks. Thus, they try to divert the discussion from the key point. Namely, the fact that the United States and their NATO satellites are sinking deeper into the quagmire of the “Ukrainian project”. That the discussions casually include options of how to carry out a terrorist attack on civilian infrastructure on the sovereign territory of the Russian Federation.

❗️Until recently, it was impossible to imagine that American and German tanks would be driving on the fields of the country neighboring with Russia. Then, it became obvious to everyone that Western specialists are actively helping Ukrainian armed forces with the maintenance of expensive equipment like Patriots, and with target guidance. Thus, we can consider this to be a participation of NATO soldiers in military operations. Such a scenario cannot be implemented without Washington’s approval. In fact, we are facing the danger of a direct clash between the armed forces of Russia and the North Atlantic Alliance in Eastern Europe.

☝️ In this context, the keynotes from the Address by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to the Federal Assembly that our country has at its disposal all sufficient forces and means to repel any NATO member-states’ aggression become increasingly relevant.

👉 I am convinced that farmers in America, Europe and Russia are primarily interested in peaceful life and an opportunity to cultivate their land without fear for the future. But unfortunately, the local “hawks” who are pushing the planet towards a third world war, are indifferent to their aspirations.
